How to create manifest for non .net application

[DBC User]

Sorry for off topic here. I would like to know will it be possible to
create a manifest for non .net application? I have a program created
with VC 2.1 and Install Sheild as well. I want those two programs to
require admin privileges to run in vista. I know I can do it in VS
2005 by adding additional manifest during building. How can I do it
for the other apps?

Thanks.

The mt.exe tool (....\VC\bin\mt.exe), can be used to embed a manifest file
in an existing exe.

mt.exe -manifest SomeProgram.exe.manifest -outputresource:SomeProgram.exe;#1
